Reading the Book of Mormon with young Children

The title I just wrote almost seems like an impossible mission. Helping them understand and learn the stories...even harder! I found and started my scripture people project (seen below) to teach my daughter the Book of Mormon! I am also creating somewhat of a Study Guide that I am using for going through the scriptures with her, not only to help her understand but to help me remember and know the scriptures better. There is not much up yet - we have only just started after all, and we are planning to go through them slowly so we can help her understand and remember. But here is a blog page where I am uploading the things we are using. I will post updates on how it went when we did it as a family, as well as any helpful hints I can give you! If you are interested at all in helping with the project (PLEASE!) see the bottom of this page!

Scripture People Project!

Needless to say I am just smitten! What an adorable way to teach children the scriptures! Having them play along with what is happening helps put them right in the middle of the story and I bet it would help them remember!

I have already started drawing more of my own people, props and backgrounds! It might take a while though...that is when I thought, I wonder if other people will help!?

So calling all people who can draw! You don't have to be the best artist either! But if we all come together and help each other we could draw up lots of scripture stories! I must confess I am not the best artist, but I can organize well - and I can post all the links here on this page so everyone can use them free! It would be a great resource!

If you want to help draw something contact me first! Email me here - I want to help! And I can let you know what other people or, what I am already working on, that way we don't have any doubles! There are so many stories in the scriptures so I need lots of help!

I'm thinking we can reuse a lot of the same people and places for some of the stories so we don't have to do so many!

I have decided to Organize what I have by when you will use them in order using the Book of Mormon Study GuideBook of Mormon Starter PackThis will get you through 1st Nephi Chapter 1 and 2 - it is bigger than most because it is the starter pack)

For chapters 5 -7 I have Adam, Eve, Joesph (as in the coat of many colors), Ishmael, Ishmael's Wife, Chords to bind Nephi, and a Prison Background. For some reason the scanner on my printer has decided not to work at the moment. I will get these up as soon as I can.

Seriously! If you want to get more chapters fast please help me draw! Or feel free to re-draw any of the ones I drew - I wont be offended, I know I'm not the best artist!
